Wedgemount Establishes New Critical Minerals Division & Options 23 Breccia Pipe Uranium and REE Exploration Targets in Arizona

Permian Basin E&P operator pivots to uranium/REE exploration via Arizona option agreement.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jun 09, 2026 · 08:15 WDGY · 0.075 Wedgemount Resources Corp.
Executive Summary
  • Wedgemount Resources Corp. entered into a 3-year option agreement with Myriad Uranium Corp. to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Breccia Pipe Project in Northern Arizona.
  • The portfolio covers 5,600 awarded acres (plus 2 pending awards) containing 23 breccia pipe-hosted uranium and rare earth element (REE) targets.
  • The transaction requires cash payments, share issuances, and qualifying exploration expenditures to earn the interest.
  • Myriad retains the right to earn back up to a 50% interest via a joint venture structure.
  • Historical data includes the Wate Pipe deposit (71,000 short tons, 1.12M lbs eU3O8 at 0.79% grade).
  • The project is located adjacent to Energy Fuels’ active Pinyon Plain Mine and near the White Mesa Mill.
  • Management frames this as a defining strategic expansion into critical minerals, complementing its existing Permian Basin oil & gas operations.
Material Impact
  • The announcement introduces a new exploration vertical (uranium/REE) to a company previously focused solely on Permian Basin oil & gas.
  • The option structure limits immediate cash outlay but commits the company to a 3-year exploration program and share dilution.
  • Proximity to active producers (Energy Fuels) and existing milling infrastructure reduces logistical risk and provides a clear regional precedent for breccia pipe mineralization.
  • The move diversifies revenue potential but does not generate immediate cash flow or production.
  • Given the early exploration stage and the option-based structure, the market impact is likely incremental rather than transformative at this time.
